A Kentucky man was sentenced today to 21 months in prison followed by two years of supervised release for his role in orchestrating a multi-year scheme to funnel more than $200,000 in secret, unlawful corporate contributions into a campaign for United States Senate and for causing the concealment of those contributions from the Federal Election Commission (FEC).
Acting Assistant Attorney General Brian C. Rabbitt of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division, U.S. Attorney Robert M. Duncan Jr. of the Eastern District of Kentucky, and Special Agent in Charge James Robert Brown Jr. of the FBI’s Louisville Field Office made the announcement.
Gerald G. Lundergan, 73, of Lexington, Kentucky, was sentenced before U.S. District Judge Gregory F. Van Tatenhove of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky.
On Sept. 12, 2019, following a five-week trial, a jury convicted Lundergan of one count of conspiracy, one count of making corporate campaign contributions, four counts of causing the submission of false statements to the FEC and four counts of causing the falsification of documents with the intent to obstruct and impede a matter within the FEC’s jurisdiction.
According to the evidence presented at trial, Lundergan used the funds of S.R. Holding Company Inc. (S.R. Holding), a company he owned, to pay for services provided by consultants and vendors to a campaign for a U.S. Senate seat in the 2014 election cycle. The candidate for this seat was Lundergan’s daughter, Alison Lundergan Grimes. The evidence established that Lundergan caused the issuance of a number of payments from S.R. Holding funds for services that included audio-video production, lighting, recorded telephone calls and campaign consulting, between July 2013 and December 2015.
The corporate contributions also included monthly payments from S.R. Holding to co-conspirator Dale C. Emmons and his company during this period. Emmons provided services to the campaign and sought and received compensation from Lundergan and S.R. Holding. Emmons also used the funds of his corporation, Emmons & Company Inc., to pay other vendors and a campaign worker for services rendered to the campaign. Those services included recorded telephone calls, technological support services, and other campaign-related expenses.
The evidence established that Lundergan and Emmons concealed these activities from other officials associated with the campaign. Their concealments caused the campaign unwittingly to file false reports with the FEC because the reports failed to disclose the source and amount of the corporate contributions.
The FBI investigated the case. Deputy Chief Robert J. Heberle of the Criminal Division’s Public Integrity Section and Assistant U.S. Attorneys Andrew T. Boone and Kate K. Smith of the Eastern District of Kentucky are prosecuting the case.

Which of the thuggish political parties was Ms Lundgren riding?
Daughter of the perp is Senator Democrat Alison Lundergan Grimes. Daddy is a crook, so wondering about the daughter, but then again she IS a Democrat. I should wonder no more.
We know she is a democrat because if she was a Republican it would have been mentioned every other sentence and she would have been tied to Trumps crime syndicate.
Did it say the guys party affiliation? I found it quicker looking elsewhere. Don’t worry. I won’t spoil anything!!
From another source:
“Jerry Lundergan, a former Kentucky Democratic Party chairman and the father of former Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes, was sentenced Thursday to 21 months in federal prison for election...”
Does this bode well for charges against AOC???
“...Which of the thuggish political parties was Ms Lundgren riding?....”
Well, IF it wasn’t stated in the news release, then it was a “D”. IF it were an “R”, it would be plastered from butthole to appetite.
“Does this bode well for charges against AOC???”
Only if they decide to try her in Kentucky.
Alison Lundergran Grime's father.
We can't trust Alison Lundergan Grimes with our election. She must resign or be impeached
I wonder what THAT could mean?
Well if it was a republican that would have been the FIRST word in the report bet on it!!
Yes, a liberal Dem, so the crazy and all that goes with it offsets the “not guiltiness”, in spades.
If she get to know you
She goin’ to own you
Please, keep posting your stuff. No one would know otherwise...
Good post...thanks
Jerry Lundergan was a former campaign bundler for the Clinton’s raising big money for Slick Willie’s campaigns. He is the father of former Kentucky Secretary of State Allison Lundergan Grimes. She should also be going to prison. But it looks like she’s going to get away without so much as a second look.
Just for clarification she was not a State Senator or Ky Attorney General.
The Dems put her in as Secretary of State so they could control the voting and voter registration. She always fought hard against voter ID. And was in favor of felons voting.
Rats. She ran against McTurtle and lost. IIRC she was the candidate after Ashley Judd tried to run but dropped out.
